If you’re considering moving into a tiny house, minimalism is certainly in your future.

You’re gonna have to get clever with your space.

You’ll Want to Get Out More

No matter how nice your house is, spending all your time in such a confined area will make it feel like prison.

The limited space also limits your recreation and (guest) entertainment options – unless the only thing you do is watch Netflix.

Cuddling will get old since you’re actually forced to do it 100 percent of the time. Try spicing things up a little with your significant other.

When having guests, you’ll also want to do things out of the house. After all, you’ll only have two or three chairs. Try picnics, movies, or bowling. Impress your friends by doing something really fun and unorthodox like an escape room.

Why would you want to entertain in your own home anyway?

Like regular houses, tiny houses do actually occupy space.

The advantage tiny houses have is that they’re a lot smaller.

Have you thought about where you want to put your tiny home?

Even before that – have you thought about if it will be mobile or not? Many tiny homes are actually built on trailers. Others are built on the ground.

There are pros and cons to each, but many people live in tiny houses because it enables them to travel in comfort.

They often have to stop in RV camps or rest stops. Places with RV hookups are a necessity to refuel water and dump waste.

Other people are less mobile. Their houses reside in other people’s backyards or deep in the woods.

We think the greatest advantage of tiny houses is the freedom to just go. You’re able to be present for any event you want: concerts, rallies, festivals, and more.

Plus, if your tiny house is mobile-ready, you won’t miss all the epic eclipse parties featured on this blog.

With a tiny house, you have all the freedom to travel and see the world.

Moving into a Tiny House Can Mean Big Problems

Frankly, tiny houses have only been around for a few decades – and only popular much more recently. There are few laws regarding their use and regulation.

That doesn’t mean it’s the wild west up in here, though. There are rules about where you can place your tiny house, and for how long.

The problem is that they’re not consistent and can be difficult to find.

If you’re in a mobile tiny house, your best course of action is to act like you’re an RV.

Do you still get permission to park in the back of Wal-Mart parking lots at night?

Mmmmaybe. At least you have plausible deniability.

What about property taxes? How much of a house is a tiny house, really?
